Jews should leave Holland while they can?

Here's some rather disturbing video from an anti-Israel demonstration that took place in Amsterdam on January 3, 2009, at the height of Operation Cast Lead.

Let's go to the videotape.



Things have not gotten much better since.

In the news feed on Monday night I mentioned the controversy caused by the former VVD leader Frits Bolkestein, who remarked that Jews should leave the Netherlands because of increasing anti-Semitism. The two articles I included in the feed were brief items from English-language sources.

Our Flemish correspondent VH has compiled a much more extensive report based on his translations from the Dutch-language media. He includes this note:

What is not mentioned in the responses to Bolkestein is that the left wing is once again becoming ever more openly anti-Semitic, and justifies — or maybe even fuels — the anti-Semitism that is already present among the Muslim immigrants.

Read the whole thing.

By the way, the references are mostly to people who are visually identifiable as Jews, i.e. to Orthodox Jews. The Dutch sound like the first anti-Semites to know the difference.
